My 2007 Honda Civic LX 1.8 L is having some issues I believe related to the fuel pump but not sure. We replaced the fuel pump in September of this year, so only 3 months ago, and now the car is having problems starting again. The old fuel pump that was in there somehow shorted out and even melted the wiring harness. This one was properly installed. Yesterday I was out driving around running errands and was driving the car for quite a while, then I went to start it and it took me 4 tries but it finally started. It would turn over but would not start. Early this morning when it was cold the car would not start at all, it was jump started and still nothing. Just the turning over but not starting. Later this afternoon when it was warmer it started just fine first try. Everything electrical in the car works too. Do you think the fuel pump has gone faulty or could it be something else?

Best answer:
The power steering is separate. If you have AC it is on the alternator belt - that means there are different alternator belts depending on whether you have AC but the PS belts are the same. Anyway, you need two separate belts.

I have a Honda HRV it;s 2 years old so under warranty for another year.

Hi so they have fitted the progressive steering to the honda as well. it's not what you think it is as the steering wheel is not connected directly to the steering rack. they use servomechanisms now so it is electrical.

Why is it that when I’m driving when it’s rainig hard or drive through puddles the right side of my car makes a very violent noise, almost like it’s dying. It vibrates violently and it’s kinda scary. Can an engine get wet? If so is there a way for my engine to not violently shake. Again it’s on the right side.

The 2012 is a good year, assuming the maintenance has been kept up. As with any used car, pay the $100 or so for your mechanic to do a pre-purchase inspection before committing to it.

There were years that the Accord was a horror - from 1998-2004 (some say later) Honda automatic transmissions, especially those mated to 6 cylinder engines, had massive problems. In 2007 the rear brakes wore so fast some people were replacing them at each oil change.

Carcomplaints.com mentions that the seat comfort was the big sore point in the 2012.
